Common Mestra butterfly eggs, laid on a leaf of Tragia plant by David Millard This image was produced with the incident illumination technique and image stacking, at a 20 Magnification with an objective lens.
Image Research The Mestra butterfly is a Central American species. Their eggs are translucent and filled with extruding filaments.
Image Analysis The idea of the eggs hatching, and eventually metamorphosing in a butterfly, pulled my attention.

Shadow Drawing
Photo of Study Models My concept was to layer light and shadows in a form inspired by the hatching of the egg, in which its shape is an abstraction of itself.
Mockups + Material Studies Through all my mockups and materials studies, I was able to test and therefore finalize the structure, the shape, the skin, and the material of the light fixture.

Section View The fixture is shaped as an octagonal, diamond, and it’s in fact the eight sided skin alone that keeps everything together and structurally strong. Scale: 1’-0” = 1/8”

Plan View The scales were designed to bound together the eight sided edges, while the wings serve as a diffuser which block the direct glare produced by the light bulb. Scale: 1’-0” = 1/8”

Light Fixture off When the light is off, the wings have a matte and almost opaque property; the wood structure it’s less noticable and its pattern is not easily defined.
Light Fixture on When the light is on, the materials enhance their propriety; the wings are now translucent, and the wood creates contrast and shadows. The pattern is now predominant.
Close-up Detail The light fixture is all handcrafted, the materials were laser cutted and all the pieces were connected with wood glue and acrylic cement. The base is solid wood and it’s attached to the structure with screws in order to easily access the light bulb.
Form of Light Play The light form produced is Play of Brilliant; the light is diffuse, and an armony of lights and shadows are casted on all its surrounding.
View in an Interior Space The light is meant as an interior table lamp; its shape, carved to resample an hatching egg, it’s perfect for a location near greenery, and its soft warm light is pleasant even with sunshine.
